Abstract
Cocoa pod borer CPB Conopomorpha cramerella Snellen Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae is still an important pest of cocoa in South-East Asia. Crop loss due to CPB infestation can be more than 50 if no control measures are applied. The CPB problem in Malaysia has been one of many major factors affecting the declination of total cocoa planted areas. To deal with the CPB problem Malaysian Cocoa Board MCB has adopted improved and invented several strategies and management tools to control CPB infestation. Recently the new perspective of CPB management arise when the sexes of CPB pupa was succesfully differentiated. The method offers new possibility of controlling the CPB infestation through mass produce and release of sterile males or pathogen-infected males. The paper highlighted the achievements constrains and future strategies in the management of CPB in Malaysia.
